The SubCommittee’s annual event, SubRegatta 2011, is once again being held in Carmel, Indiana on Aug 6 – August 7, 2011. Our SubRegatta brings modelers and submarine enthusiasts together from around the world to display and run model subs. This year we are pleased to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the annual SubCommittee Subregatta.

This event is funded in large part by our weekend long raffle. We are actively soliciting donations of prizes such as hulls and kits, electronics, plans, etc. as well as the myriad other items that get people excited to attend. In short, anything submarine or hobby related is gratefully accepted.

Any item you are able to donate may be mailed directly to the raffle co-chair, Chris Campbell, the Vice President of the Subcommittee who is the co-sponsor of the event. His shipping address is:

REGO-FIXAttn: Chris Campbell7751 Moller RoadIndianapolis, IN 46268.

If you are going to be present at the regatta and would rather bring the donation with you please email me to let me know what you are donating so I can post your donation.

Thank you in advance for your support of the international organization of submarine modeling enthusiasts - The SubCommittee!

PLEASE DON'T POST ANYTHING ON THIS THREAD! I WILL UPDATE THIS THREAD AS THE DONATIONS START TO COME IN SO EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE CURRENT PRIZES.

Hi everyone. It's getting closer to the regatta and it's been rather quiet as far as donations for the 20th annual Subregatta are concerned.

Just wanted to remind everyone that you don't have to buy some new kit or expensive tool to donate to the raffle. Many of us have picked up models and tools that we will never use. This is a great opportunity to clean up your workshop and to support the Subcommittee at the same time. Please consider donating to make this the best Subregatta yet.

Donations can be either be sent to Chris Campbell at the address stated below, or you can just bring the donation directly to the regatta.

Just email me or PM me from this site and I will post your donation on this thread

For the 2011 Regatta auction, I will be bringing a beautiful, 1/3 scale resin kit of a US NAVY MARK-V DIVING HELMET. This kit is being donated by Robert Steiner of Deep Sea Artworks (http://www.deepseaartworks.com). Here is a partial description of the kit:

This is one of kind kit that I made from a full size DESCO helmet. 1/3rd scale resin kit.

Contains 44 + parts for one (1) helmet that you can assemble and paint. Including:

- instructions

- photo-etch or decal choice for name tag

- wooden stand and brads

- rope

Looks great on desk or as gift for retired diver, EOD or SEAL types.

Don, I own two of these kits and I can tell you that it is one of the finest kits I have ever seen. They were a limited run and there are only about 10 left. I have attached a photo of two of the completed helmets.
